Well you seem to be trying to blame the original T. For something you the Landlord should have clearly been involved with.Trusting a T to make good decisions on your behalf is just asking for trouble. Also sounds like you Lawyer is inexperienced. Or is just trying to make this situation more involved than it is. More $$$ for them. Seem pretty cut and dry just as the sheriff Dept. said, Eviction. Research squatters, and you will see how many right they have.

Tim Tom, if you read my original post, you will see that although I do give a very brief explanation of what happened, there was no complaining, only questions. I am thoroughly aware of the mistakes that I made as a new LL... If you aren't going to be helpful in answering the direct questions I asked, please move on.
